Chapter 138 A scene of mourning for the Wolong
Jin Tuo Wang said: "He...he told us to ambush Lu Chengwen and the young master's master, Hun Tian Gang. That damn Hua Xueqing said Hun Tian Gang wasn't strong, but when we met him, he took me out in one move!"
The leader was shocked: "Took you out?!"
Jin Tuo Wang was a top-tier player of the Middle Four Gates, to take him out in one move, you'd need a top player from the Upper Four Gates!
The strategist also said awkwardly: "I...also...got hit with one palm and...couldn't get up."
"What happened next?"
The two faces on their screens turned red, appearing quite embarrassed.
"Speak! Speak! Speak! Speak!"
Jin Tuo Wang gritted his teeth: "Then we were captured by that old guy and taken into his cave. He hung us up...stripped us...that's it."
The strategist said: "Then...Lu Chengwen came and discussed how to deal with us with the old man."
"How did they discuss it?"
The strategist was about to cry: "Leader, believe me this once, it's not important, it isn't important."
The leader said: "You two, whoever can explain this incident clearly, their suspicion will be cleared."
The strategist gritted his teeth: "It was that Hun Tian Gang wanted to use the Petrifying Palm to turn us two into stone lions and use us as decorations for his home."
The leader felt incredulous: "Are you kidding? He lives in a cave, what kind of decoration would he need!?"
Jin Tuo Wang cried: "That old man is insane!"
The strategist: "Crazy!"
Jin Tuo Wang: "Totally irrational!"
The strategist: "He's impossible to reason with!"
Jin Tuo Wang: "He thinks of things on the fly, and immediately takes action, like a whirlwind!"
The strategist: "And his ideas are outlandish and endless, he even wanted to perform surgery on Jin Tuo Wang, to turn him into a lioness."
"Bullshit! He wanted to turn you into a lioness!"
"Nonsense! When they talked about this, they were looking at you!"
"Rubbish! Who looks more like a lioness, you or me?"
"Can size determine anything?! He even wanted us to produce cubs, can I do that?"
Jin Tuo Wang stomped his feet in anger: "Damn it, I can't do it, but can you!?"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" The leader stopped them: "Stop talking about this, it's making me nauseous!"
The strategist said with a red face: "I told you, you're better off not asking."
"What happened next?"
The two didn't say anything.
"Speak! Damn it!"
Jin Tuo Wang: "We...Lu Chengwen had his two men take us out first, he held off the crazy old man."
The strategist said: "We had no choice at the time, that old man was too strong, we couldn't beat him, and...I really can't produce lion cubs! Really! No surgery would work! I'm sure about this!"
The leader was about to explode.
It was incredibly embarrassing that his strategist and the strongest fighter of the Red Guards, Jin Tuo Wang, were played like this.
"So, Miss Shiyin saw you at that time?"
They both said together: "Probably."
The leader said: "I...I'm putting it all together! You extorted 5 billion, and then returned it along with the Little Reversal Pill, the reason being that you suspected you were surrounded!"
"You! You were saved twice by Lu Chengwen, the strategist wanted to attack Lu Chengwen's men, and you stopped him! And Lu Chengwen even gave you the Little Reversal Pill to save you!"
Jin Tuo Wang said: "Leader! I'm loyal to you! I didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be so generous, I didn't expect that person... to be righteous, generous, brave, resourceful, and broad-minded! This has nothing to do with me!"
The leader clenched his fists, staring at the two heads on the screen.
It's over.
If you analyze it logically, both of them have betrayed.
Jin Tuo Wang is very suspicious.
Why would Lu Chengwen save you? It would be strange if he didn't kill you!
Did he save you? And even used the Little Reversal Pill!?
Even if everything he said was true, he's clearly in Lu Chengwen's debt now, and we'll have to keep a close eye on him!
I can't spend all my effort cultivating a Jin Tuo Wang and then have to watch him?
The strategist is also useless.
Years of cooperation and trust make me unable to believe that he could make mistake after mistake, and every mistake is so absurd and illogical.
Lu Chengwen was too kind to Jin Tuo Wang, while the strategist was too kind to Lu Chengwen.
He gave Lu Chengwen 5 billion cash and the Little Reversal Pill. And then he accused Jin Tuo Wang of betrayal...
I have no idea who is betraying, who is falsely accusing, and who is being framed.
It's even possible that they are both traitors.
Luo Shiyin smiled, she was simply amused: "Leader, the Four Kings, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron, have all betrayed. Oh, right, and your strategist has also become Lu Chengwen's pawn. I can't figure out now, did they betray recently, or have they already betrayed, and are just waiting for an opportunity?"
Jin Tuo Wang and the strategist also fell silent.
Things were too strange.
It's...completely out of our control.
They both realized that they couldn't return to the branch, they couldn't go back.
These things that happened to them, it's impossible to explain.
Their future is gone, if they return to the branch, they will be immediately imprisoned and face long, cruel, and possibly eternal...interrogation and torture.
The two of them stopped arguing.
It's useless.
Whether you betrayed or not, these things can't be explained.
The leader was also stunned, he muttered: "The Four Kings, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron...they betrayed in just a few days...one after another, seamlessly connected, everything went so smoothly...and these four were all sent out by me...I...I collected all the money I could and gave it to Lu Chengwen. And...I sent him a lot of talent from the branch who had been cultivated for years...according to this analysis, the traitor...should be me!"
The leader looked up: "Did I betray? Am I the real wolf? I don't know?"
The leader shed tears: "My life...has been so hard."
The strategist was expressionless and silently ended the video call.
He knew there was no turning back.
The only thing he could do to prove his innocence now is to kill Lu Chengwen and Jin Tuo Wang and take their heads to the main branch to explain the situation.
To blame the leader for the loss of over 100 billion and the betrayal of the Four Kings.
This is the only thing he can do.
Jin Tuo Wang saw the strategist end the video call, so he ended him as well.
Now it was like the final episode of a spy thriller, everyone knew what was in each other's minds, and everyone knew that no one on this call was trustworthy, except for themselves.
Things had developed to this point, and everyone's choices were limited.
The leader could no longer control the Red Guards.
The Four Kings had all runaway, even the damn strategist had run away. He was left with only a bunch of informants and the Black Guards and White Guards responsible for assassinations that he could mobilize.
The trouble he had caused, there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to cover it up.
The main branch wasn't deaf or blind, they should have already noticed the anomaly here.
The only person who could save him now was the young master.
He had to immediately lead all remaining forces to attack, whether it was the strategist or the Four Kings, he had to wipe them all out and leave none alive.
Then, obtain the young master's forgiveness and swear allegiance.
Besides that, no one in the world could save him.
Jin Tuo Wang, a man nearly six feet tall, was crying under the covers in the hotel, crying his eyes out.
He didn't know how it came to this, why things had developed to this point.
Lu Chengwen saved him, the strategist framed him, the leader suspected him...he became a traitor unknowingly.
Where did I betray?
Jin Tuo Wang threw the covers off, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Huo Wendong!
This bastard! If not for him torturing me with bullets, Lu Chengwen wouldn't have saved me, and the strategist wouldn't have suspected me of betrayal!
And Hun Tian Gang...he's out of the question.
I simply can't afford to offend him.
But Huo Wendong!
If he doesn't die, you must!
The pain of those dozen shots, the despair of being covered in wounds, Huo Wendong's contemptuous look, and his crazy laughter echoing through the mountains...
All made Jin Tuo Wang furious to the extreme!
...
The next day.
Lu Chengwen was dressed neatly, in a suit and tie, wearing sunglasses.
As he walked out, Zhao Gang opened the door of the Rolls-Royce, inside Jiang Shihan was wearing a business suit, smiling at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly, sat in, and directly kissed Jiang Shihan: "Zhao Gang, Houde General Hospital."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Zhao Gang ran to the driver's seat, sat in, started the car, and drove straight to Houde General Hospital.
Huo Wendong was transferred to the hospital as soon as he was slightly stable.
When Lu Chengwen arrived, Huo Zhen Ting was there too. Seeing Lu Chengwen, he immediately shook hands with him:
"Chengwen, you're here, you're so busy and still came all the way here, thanks."
"Uncle, you're too polite."
Huo Wendong was too weak. Yesterday, he was beaten and fractured, and then caught in a heavy downpour, soaking from head to toe. Although his injuries weren't fatal, his condition was terrible. His high fever had only subsided a little, but he was still dizzy and drowsy, and it was difficult for him to speak.
Seeing Lu Chengwen, he immediately got angry.
This was the bastard who made Zhao Gang repeatedly trample on him yesterday!
Lu Chengwen acted like a drama queen as soon as he entered the room! His performance was top-notch!
He had a look of grief as if he was about to cry at any moment.
He covered his mouth, with a look of grief that seemed unable to accept this reality!
"Wendong! Wendong! What's wrong with you, Wendong!"
He rushed to the bedside, and grabbed Huo Wendong's hand: "Wendong! Wendong, you can't die! We've been dependent on each other, through thick and thin for so many years. I've always treated you like my own brother, teaching and raising you. I never expected that today I would have to bury you before my time..."
A nurse wiped away her tears: "Mr. Lu, he just has a fracture and a fever, he won't die."
Lu Chengwen cried: "It's only a matter of time!"
The nurse cried and persuaded: "Be strong! You're making the patient restless!"
"No! Don't stop me! I have to express my deep sorrow and immense pain!"
The nurse cried so hard that she was gasping for air: "Mr. Lu, his hand is fractured, please let go of him. You can't keep holding on."
Lu Chengwen secretly glanced over, and sure enough, Huo Wendong was rolling his eyes in pain, he could barely speak.
